Hi , How are you doing ?
Prune belly has a defect of Abdominal wall & urinary tract.
So the chances of pregnancy is not much affected.
Before trying for pregnancy, do have an evaluation of Renal function , as the functioning of kidney is affected by pregnancy.
Have an ultrasound or MRI to evaluate any congenital problems in uterus , which may need treatment before or during pregnancy. There could always be variations in presentation.
If all these are normal I don't think you will have any problem with pregnancy
Hope I have clarified your queries
All the best
